Roswell Recreational Soccer

 

 What is the Program Objective?

The primary objective of the Recreational program is to enable players to learn the game of soccer in a fun and stimulating environment. The focus is on developing their skills to help them be the best soccer players they can be, while maintaining a healthy approach to competitive soccer.

 

Who Coaches the Teams?

Our Recreational Program relies on volunteer coaches to coach all of the teams.  Most of these volunteers are parents from within the program, so if you are interested in coaching please let us know.  We have coaching handbooks, equipment and can help you if you have any questions.  Please let us know when you sign up if you are interested in coaching your son/daughters team so we can get you going.  Coaching is a great experience for both you and your child so please consider it!

 

When are Practices and Games held?

Practices are held Monday through Friday nights, with 1 to 2 practice sessions per week based on age group. There are 1 – 2 games per weekend, usually Saturday and some Sunday afternoons. The U8 – U10 (6 – 10 year olds) will have all of their practices and games in Roswell. The U12 & above will practice and play their home games in Roswell with their away games in Metro Atlanta area. Practices and games will be held at Woodstock, Waller Park Extension, Roswell Area Park, Sweetapple, Grimes Bridge, Northwood and East Roswell Park Soccer fields.

U8 and U10 Boys teams will practice on either Monday or Wednesday (only one practice per week)

U8 and U10 Girls teams will practice on either Tuesday or Thursday (only one practice per week)

U12-U19 Boys and Girls teams will have their practice days decided once they are placed on a team, which is after evaluations.
